All Three Shops At Cambridge, O., Now In Production

Cambridge, Ohio—All three shops of Universal are now in the production of dinnerware and barring severe cold weather, we should enjoy steady employment. During extreme cold weather industrial gas is shut off. Several new shapes have made their appearance and most are meeting with good success. One exception is Ballerina or plaque shape which is causing jiggermen and the firm plenty of headaches. Losses sometimes run as high as 25% at jigger or kiln or both. There have been several confabs between workmen and employers and we hope that the wrinkles will be soon ironed out.

Our local president, Frank Campbell, announced shop committees at the last local meeting and they will be posted soon. He also entered upon the floor a discussion of pay for correspondent. It was decided in a few minutes that he should receive his dues as in the past plus refund for attendance and any door prizes of three months dues that he might draw.

I have been a little inquisitive as to whether the employees of Plant No. 3, formerly Local 144, stoneware, will have their own charter or will come into 122. So far I haven't learned a thing.

I have forgotten a time or two to mention that the local through the sick and welfare committee distributed small purses to those most worthy cases of employees on the sick list. Some are in dire circumstances and shop collections should be in order soon.

It is reported that John Ellis, Kilnman is having trouble with someone parking in his spot. Run over them John. But remember the 15 mph.—O. C. 122
